Julia, it was never explicitly shown in Gatchaman, but more like strongly implied that Jun was attracted to Ken throughout the series. Whether Ken was oblivious to her attention, or chose to ignore it was never addressed in canon.

In BotP, there was a scene where Mark admits to having 'feelings' for Princess, and of course a lot of innuendo when the two of them visit Zark.

Jinpei/Keyop teases the Swan frequently about her infatuation too.

Thanks, Julia, I've been looking for the eps since YouTube took them down. My only gripe is that there only seems to be 44 out of the 52 eps there. Hope the rest are added soon

Aaaagh, I didn't think of that. Unfortunately, the date for submitting prompts has passed, but I'll try to remember for next year.

I thought i would make members here aware that the 2014 gift exchange has now been launched.

Ame posted.....

The Idea

A fandom Secret Santa -- we give each other stories, artwork, essays.

Very simple -- Email (amethyst.sh@gmail.com) or PM me with what you want and what you can give. After I have everything, I'll match up what people want and what they can give, and give you your prompt and medium.

Once you are done with your gift, send them to me. I'll post all submissions here for the receiver and everyone else to enjoy. After all gifts have been posted and enjoyed, and we've guessed who gave what, Givers will be allowed to reveal themselves. After they have had a few days to reveal, I'll post the master list of prompts and who did what.

The Specifics

1. Anytime between now and October 3, 2014 email or PM me with the following.

-- Choose two or three prompts
-- a Medium or two*
-- if choosing an fanfic or an essay, choose a team*
-- What you can give**

2. By October 7, you will receive from me a gift request

3. Send me the completed gift by December 19.

4. I'll post the gifts between December 15 and December 22.

5. People can reveal themselves to the recipients on December 26.

6. I'll post the master list on January 1, 2015; at that time givers can post their work elsewhere, such as Gatchfanfic or DeviantArt, etc.

7. 1500 word minimum for essays and stories (serial drabbles are okay, unless otherwise specified)

No maximum, but please keep in mind that gifts should be complete. If a prompt inspires more, sequels would be enjoyed by all.

The Rules

If you want something, you have to give something.

Please don't post or share^ the gifts with others or other sites until after the master list has been revealed on January 1, 2015 to give the recipients time to enjoy the work first.

If you don't want smut or slash, or won't write/draw smut or slash, please say so. Also if you prefer this, just put it in your prompt.

If you want to give multiple gifts, you can ask for multiple gifts.

* ** ^

* If you want an essay or choose Eagle Riders or GoS (for fanfic or essay), please select one prompt from another and/or for a second team. I will make every attempt to match people with their first choices, but will be limited by what people are able to give.

**Prefered Medium -- Art, Fanfiction, Essay, Teams that you are most familiar with for Fanfictions or Essays

^Check with me before you send something to beta. I'd really like to try and post a beta list for those who need/want a beta, so if you want to participate, but don't really have the time to give, send me an email to volunteer to beta. Please note that if you want to beta, you must also respect the timeline and secrecy.

Finally, please, if something happens that prevents you from fulfilling this obligation, let me know as soon as possible. I won't be asking for a gift, but will be a back-up if anyone has something that interferes with this obligation. If anyone else wishes to help out in this manner, I'd be happy to accept that help, too. So please, if you have time to fill for missing gifts please let me know.

Hope everyone has a much fun as we did the last two years!

Happy Holidays!

 I know there are members here who missed out previous years because they didn't find out about it in time, so I thought this would give you all the opportunity to participate if you wish.

You're welcome, and good luck with registration

Hi there, so glad you'r interested in joining us at Gatchamania... you might like to try emailing Cep at cepeleon@yahoo.com to ask about registration. I believe it has to be done manually these days.

hope to see you over there soon

I have to say, if you're going on looks alone, then the Gatchaspartan wins hands down, since the New Godphoenix looks simply rediculous!! Not familiar with how either mecha work so really cannot comment on that.
